Ten year-old Arif lives with his Chacha and Chachi in Mumbai--they have been his whole life after his parents died in an accident. But it is obvious they are interested only in the money he will inherit when he turns 18. One day, he runs away from Chacha and Chachi. He hops on to a train going to Chennai and from there he smuggles himself on a boat going to...the Andamans! Rich with adventure and humour, sharing the wonders of nature, filled with details about the unique, misunderstood world of the Jarawa, a tribe in the Andamans whose very survival is being threatened, especially by the forces of so-called development...this is Andamans Boy. For ages 10 and above.
